I am still here. I haven’t forgotten that I need to update everyone on life. I haven’t dropped off of the earth. I am still going.
I got some advice this month to choose rest because let’s be real, the last 3-4 months have lead up to my exhaustion. Last month in Kenya took a lot out of me mentally, spiritually, and physically.
So this month I have rested. Of course in that, my rest this month has looked different each day but yea that is what I have been doing. Whether that is choosing to lay in bed after lunch until I go back to ministry maybe even take a nap or playing cards all afternoon while it’s raining or playing music or listening to a podcast while I cut grass by hand or reading a book or just whatever comes to mind. I have chosen rest.
I have also spent so much more time this month resting with the Lord. I have chosen to wake up sometimes an hour and a half to 2 hours before breakfast to just spend time with God.
I can definitely tell that my energy is starting to come back because of the rest I have been choosing.
And for me, when ministry is placed in front of me, rest is hard. But I am grateful I have chosen to rest.
So I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still here. Still learning. Still growing. Still processing.
Much Love!!
Aleesa
